Mechanical Systems
Kelson mechanical highlights: Mechanically there are many diverse requirements for this project. Kelson engineered the use of a heat recovery chiller for simultaneous heating and cooling required year-round for the cold plunges, hot tubs, dehumidification unit, snow melt, and domestic water. This project was delivered using an Integrated Project Delivery where we worked closely with the client and project team to ensure their needs are met for a final facility and schedule and budget are prioritized. Innovations include using AHSRAE air classification to re-use fresh air for dehumidification, the use of a heat recovery wheel, pre-heating of domestic hot water with waste heat, and the ventilation system serving sauna areas.
